Public Art

An informal entry to the new Human and Civil Rights Museum in Atlanta Georgia. Water flows over large etched glass panels with quotations from Margaret Mead and Nelson Mandala. The glass is framed by two stainless steel monuments, water is treated and recirculated by an elaborate underground pump room. JunoWorks was responsible for the entire piece including glass, water system and of course the stainless steel. John Grant our chief collaborator is responsible for pulling together several complicated systems with a very tight deadline to make this sculpture the huge success that it is. His efforts can't be overstated.
Our first project with Larry Kirkland with two more in the works right now.
The hand sketch shows the initial concept.

By Donald Lipski, thousands of painted stainless steel flaps flutter in the near constant winds of El Paso Texas. The sculpture is 60' tall and was transported to University of Texas in El Paso in sections. Assembled at a nearby parking lot and lifted by a 450 ton crane and set in it's final location approximately 200' from the assembly site. What could have been a challenging installation went seamlessly.

Ralph Helmick's Drawing Room located in Mesa Arizona, made of stainless and formed laser-cut carbon steel. The portraits are of local residents. The sculpture was built at the JunoWorks studio and transported as a single piece thereby reducing on site installation time. A great piece and very well received by the community.
